I was rear-ended about ten years ago and suffered some acute lower back pain along with the usual neck and should injuries associated with a rear-end collision. I spent several months in physical therapy learning how to strengthen my back and receiving massage therapy and stimulation by the use of a TENS unit. I have been on and off pain ....

I have tried a lot of different things to help my back. So far the Gastric bypass has helped the most. Ultram doesnt work very well for my back pain, but my doctor refuses to try anything else or give me anything stronger. I cannot take anti inflamitory drugs as they will irratate my bypass..
